message flags

What are "message flags"?
And it might help if you mention which WLM version and which Windows version
you are running.

message, like read it or delete it, the appropriate flag ('Read' or
'Deleted') has to be applied both locally (on your computer) and at
the server, so WLMail calls home to set those flags. If something
else is going on meanwhile, like downloading messages from another
account, this might take some time. And WLMail is not very good at
dismissing the 'Setting flags' message when the process is finished.
I often find that all it takes is to mouse over the message box to
make it go away. Annoying, but not life-threatening.

This is an issue that can potentially affect any IMAP account. A variety of
factors such as your connection speed and latency as well as the IMAP
server's performance can affect whether the "Setting message flags" dialog
will show up and how long it will last. Unfortunately there aren't any
reliable fixes to this problem today, however this is an open issue we are
actively tracking.
Thanks for using WLMail,

message, I get the flag message for 10-20 seconds. It is very annoying.
Better would be to put the message in the background or give us the option of
turning it off. I know you say there is no workaround, but I have never had
the problem using OE6. Only WLM. I also never have an issue on my iPhone
and that's an even slower connection. So there is different way of dealing
with it.

to wait even longer. Can the user actions be batched then transmitted at
the end of the session?

This should resolve the annoying messages!

But we prefer IMAP, don't we? :)

Let's hope Bobdar has figured out his problem since he posted that question
in 2009. ;^}
Gotta watch those Sell-By dates on messages from Google Groups!

messages which are unwanted. Please how?

What kinds of messages?
In WLM 2012:
For an email message, just click the big red "X" that says "Delete".
For a newsgroup post...it's not so easy. You can delete it from your own
computer, but that does not delete it from the server. After all, I may not
have downloaded it and read it yet, so I don't want you to be able to delete
it. There are ways to request the news server to delete a message - at
least, one that you have posted - but I've never tried to do that.
